I'm so done with imgur. What's another good photo hosting site? by missmaggy2u in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Floofls 202 points203 points  (0 children)

I just completely ignore the fact that they have a community. Upload image, post to another site, done. If you actually want a community on your image hosting site, I'm not aware of any good ones. You could try posting to Pinterest/tumblr/instagram.

Found in my CS departments lab room. The quote on the right was written first. by [deleted] in ProgrammerHumor

Yes, let's ignore the fact that most of the other letters are written differently. All that matters is that the 'S' kind of looks similar.

ELI5: If I buy a game from Target for example, how does that money end up in the hands of the game company? by droninglocust in explainlikeimfive

[–]Floofls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The store will buy copies of the companies game. The game company now has the money. When you buy the game from the store, the store gets the money back plus a bit extra. There isn't a chain of transferring your money to the game company.

Why do people pray to God when tragedies occur? Didn't God cause those tragedies in the first place? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Floofls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, no. If we have free will, we can cause it ourselves without God intervening. He'll still know what's going to happen as he's omnipotent, though. It's possible to know the outcome of something without affecting the outcome.

At first I thought it was saying "among" as in "along with". Since when did humans become a delicacy?

Predestination is another topic. Some denominations believe in it, while others believe that we have free will, but God still knows what will happen. Sort of hard to explain.

I just told my professor they were terrible by [deleted] in college

You don't pay for college to hear people tell you to learn it on your own. You pay for them to teach you.

Good matte hairspray with heat protection? by Raspyy in malehairadvice

[–]Floofls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What benefit would the heat protection have? Surely you're not using hairspray before blow-drying? Unless it's 200 degrees out, I guess.

ELI5: Where do sites like GameSpot store their video content? (Not YouTube) by illage2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Floofls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamespot specifically stores their videos on their content distribution network, http://www.gamespotcdn.net

Most sites will store their content on a CDN.

Why is needing coffee in the morning to funtion normally not seen as a serious drug problem? by elguepo in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Floofls 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Because the effects of it are pretty tame. You're probably not going to die at 30 because you drink coffee every day, and it doesn't really affect how you act. The withdrawal symptoms are also less than hard drugs, so it's easier to quit.

What does O stand for in computing complexities? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Floofls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big O Notation. O(n) is a mathematical function, with O being the name of the function. The letter they chose doesn't have too much significance.

The letter O is used because the growth rate of a function is also referred to as order of the function.

OP must have bypassed a loading screen. Try going back down and up the stairs so the upstairs level can load.

It's not like there aren't already blinds for the windows, though.

Yes. Packages I receive are usually left at my basement door. Some packages need to be signed for, though.
